Block 40: Water Turn

It has been a few weeks since Kim and I finished this block--Block #41 is the Water Turn:

All those flying geese pieces (the ones with the red and green triangles) were a lot to fit into a 6" block! But I think I got the seams pretty flat and all my points are showing. I like the soft pallet with just a touch of red to stand out.

After I had the flying geese made and was sewing them together into pairs, I noticed that I sewed one of them with the green fabric wrong side out. Even though I had already trimmed the "flippy corner", I thought I could undo the hand stitching and sew the pieces on the right way. So I did so and it went ok.

But then when I went to put the pair together, the green fabric was wrong side out. I thought I looked over all of them when I discovered the first wrong one to see if there were any more to fix, but there it was. I just fixed the second one the same as the first, but honestly I'm still not sure if I missed the second mistake piece when I looked them over or if I took apart the first piece and sewed it back together wrong again!!

Here are all of the blocks done so far:

Only four more blue spaces left to fill!

Who am I and What am I Doing Here?

I'm a mid-40s married full-time job holder mother of none who likes to make stuff. Knitting, tablet weaving, and quilting are what I'm most into now, but I'll also crochet, bead, and sew depending on the need and my mood.

I'm blogging to keep my projects organized (?), share them with others, and get feedback and advice if you've got it.
